Workshop at Charles Correa Foundation

DWELL 2015 - DESIGN FOR INFORMALITY

OCTOBER 2015

Harsh Patel, invited to lead the GOA team, at the DWELL 2015. An initiative of the Charles Correa Foundation, ‘DWELL’ is a workshop for Architects, Designers and Students of Architecture and Design to instigate thought on mitigating increasing urban densities especially in the context of housing. The 2015 Edition of 'DWELL' departed from the 2014 edition, which addressed the idea of 'Density', and proposed to look at the city from the perspective of the 'Un-Designed' – the eclectic urban reality of India which includes a powerful parallel system that operates beyond the predictable.
